Chapter 70: The Gap

The port is still busy and lively, because the return of the Zhao family's sea ship is more lively than before.

With His Royal Highness King Rui as a backer, coupled with the capable Zhao family's eldest lady, every time the Zhao family's sea ship returns, it can bring back a large number of goods.

Earn money that everyone covets.

Some people are jealous of the silver earned by the Zhao family, but no one dares to do anything to the Zhao family, after all, the Zhao family is known as the money bag of His Royal Highness King Rui.

Who dares to touch the silver of His Royal Highness King Rui?

Are you tired of being crooked?

The people who moved the goods came and went between the sea ships and the port warehouse, and the Zhao family sea ship brought back a large amount of goods this time, attracting many onlookers.

There are many idlers in the city, and there are even more people staring at the Western goods brought back by the Zhao family this time.

And every time a large fleet returns, the whole city is a sensation, but everyone who has time goes to the harbor.

Who doesn't love real money?

Even if you can't have it, you can take a look.

By the time the Gu family arrived, the port was already crowded, and it was even more lively and noisy than rushing to the market.

Whenever goods were brought down from the ship, the people cheered.

Miss Zhao has a little hobby, she always opens all the boxes of the goods, although it makes it more difficult for the porter, she will also give double the salary.

And the cheers and exclamations of the people made the porters feel that they were doing something wrong.

Therefore, the porters are not disgusted.

"She's a smart girl who knows how to do business."

Jiang Shi looked at the boxes of Western spices and other things, "There is a suspicion of showing off, but it can be regarded as inspecting the goods in advance and distributing them to the merchants who go to her to buy the goods, saving a lot of trouble." ”

Gu Jiayao muttered, "Isn't it the same as advertising?" ”

She will too!

She knows about the advertisement, but she doesn't know how to do it.

All right.

She is still an ordinary leftover girl.

The Gu family, especially the women, had never seen a sea ship, and the sea ship taller than a two-story building was particularly tall and magnificent. The eldest daughter-in-law and others were shocked.

One by one, they were stunned, but they would also cheer with the people.

"The second brother and sister's sea ship is also so big?"

"How much cargo does this have to pack? How much is the silver worth? ”

The eldest daughter-in-law grabbed Jiang's arm excitedly, "No wonder the second brother got married." ”

"What's the nonsense? Xi'er didn't marry because she had money. ”

The old lady was not happy, and reprimanded: "It doesn't matter how much silver she earns, it's her dowry, not the Gu family's silver, only for Xi'er and Yaoyao." ”

"Mother, that's real money, why is it a dowry?"

"The sea ship is a dowry, and the silver earned back is naturally her dowry."

Eldest daughter-in-law: "......"

Gu Jiayao was impressed by the old lady, but she also saw the old lady's flesh pain, and she still felt that Gu Xi had the upper hand and suppressed her natural greed.

At this time, if she asked the Jiang family to hand over the silver to herself, wouldn't the other sons also take advantage of Gu Xi?

She can't turn her left hand into her right hand, and then send the silver she got to Gu Xi.

Even if she can hide it from the rest of her sons, with Gu Xiqing's high temperament, she won't want copper-smelling silver!

It's better to let Jiang hold the silver himself, so that he can buy good things for Xi'er.

Let Xi'er have no worries about food and clothing.

The Gu family thought that the Jiang family had made a fortune, and even if it did not have the scale of the Zhao family, it could have a large income.

However, the truth of the matter is that the ships docked in the port are broken and about to sink at any time.

The surviving crew members were so hungry that their faces were yellow and thin, and they knelt in front of Jiang, "We are here to quit our jobs, and the goods we got in exchange for can only be thrown into the sea because of the ship's leakage, although there is still a little left, but it is useless." ”

"We also managed to get through, it's not that we don't do our best, but our luck is too bad."

When they talk about the hardships along the way, there is really nothing worse than them.

Although the Nanyang side likes the silk porcelain of the Central Plains, they are either Nanyang people or fools, and occasionally the merchants of the Central Plains in the past will be shoddy by the Nanyang people, and even cheat the goods without giving silver.

Almost all the unfortunate things happened to them, the liar defrauded, and the ship almost capsized at sea, it was not that the Zhao family's fleet happened to pass by, they were still looking for a way back at sea.

After experiencing life and death, these people were afraid and did not dare to go to sea again.

Jiang nodded and said, "I'll settle the wages to you, ...... It's been a hard work. ”

Compared with the behemoth Zhao family's sea boats, the contrast between Jiang's dilapidated sea ships is not ordinary.

What's more, the Jiang family's ship didn't bring anything back, but the Zhao family's fleet returned with a full load.

"The second family, will those people put all the goods on the Zhao family's ship?"

Old man Gu knocked on the cigarette pouch, "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, they may be greedy for silver." ”

Jiang Shi smiled bitterly: "Originally, I thought that the ship had sunk, but I didn't expect the ship to come back smoothly, the lives on board cannot be measured by the goods, even if they hide their secrets, they can't hide much, and the dozen or so lives on the ship are worth these silver." ”

"What's more, I don't have any evidence just based on speculation, the yamen will not accept it, it is better to do a good deed and accumulate virtue. And there's nothing wrong with the ledger income. ”

Jiang quickly flipped through the account books, "Behind the Zhao family stands His Royal Highness King Rui, what do we compare with His Royal Highness King Rui?" ”

Shi Ze's brows were tightly locked, and Gu Xi also looked helpless.

"Going to sea is a matter of winning and losing, it's good to win, and I can afford to lose."

Jiang said arrogantly: "Next time, I will always make up for the loss, didn't they return the ship to me." ”

"Just this broken ship, can it still be used for repair?"

The old lady looked at the crumbling ship, "Don't talk about going to sea, you have to sink in the river." ”

Jiang Shi smiled: "Next time I sail, I'll let you see it with your own eyes." ”

Gu Jiayao remembered that her uncle had been working in the shipyard since then.

Maybe her mother has seen shipbuilding?

"Mother, I'll go to the boat to take a look, didn't I say that there are still two boxes of goods?"

"Aze accompanies Yaoyao on the boat."

Gu Xi and Jiang Shi glanced at each other, "Let's settle them down and then go to find them." ”

Shi Ze nodded, and Gu Xi led the Gu family to the tea shed to rest.

Jiang's kind words comforted the old lady and others.

They seemed to be even more sad and painful than Chiang's.

Gu Xi kept saying: "I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life." ”

Chiang did not expect the ship to come back with the goods, and he was not too disappointed.

Gu Yao climbed onto his broken boat and looked around, because he could see clearly from the boat looking at the shore.

"Wearing dark infrared is a ...... Miss Zhao? ”

Gu Jiayao said curiously: "She is actually a woman dressed as a man. ”

She was surrounded by a crowd of people, not only the guards sent by King Rui to protect her, but also the wealthy merchants who wanted to do business with her.

Her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, strong and domineering, and she really has the momentum of a strong woman.

Gu Jiayao pursed the corners of her mouth, she still wanted to be practical, hurry up and check the goods, she no longer looked at the shore, walked towards the cabin, and secretly prayed that the remaining goods could be sold for some silver.
